BEFORE
A physician who could treat symptoms but could not yet heal herself.
Dr. Roxanne Smith had spent her career treating the body she could not yet feed properly. She was a board-certified MD trained in allopathic medicine. She knew how to write prescriptions and manage symptoms, and she was good at it.
But she was also honest enough to admit what her training had never given her: a real education in nutrition. She wanted to understand how to feed the body so it could thrive, not just survive, and how to reach the root of what her patients were experiencing rather than suppress what the body was trying to say.
She had watched her patients suffer. She had also suffered herself, searching for optimal health for as long as she could remember, trying approach after approach and finding nothing that worked long term. In 2013, a social media post by Liana Shanti changed that.
“The truth is that I did not understand how to feed my body so that I could THRIVE, not just survive. And my medical degree did not give me an in-depth education in nutrition. I was taught to deal with the body’s symptoms by treating them with medication, rather than looking at that symptom as a message from the body that something deeper needed to be healed.”
THE WORK
The science her medical education never offered.
Dr. Roxanne enrolled in Liana’s 66 Day Health Mastery Cleanse protocol. For the first time, she completed a juice fast, gave up meat and dairy, and implemented a fully organic, plant-based diet. She describes the changes as dramatic and life changing.
That was the beginning. She continued studying and enrolled in the nutrition certification, pursuing what her medical education had never offered her: the science, protocols and framework to make changes that supported the body for optimal health.
She reports healing candida, controlling hypertension through lifestyle and diet, eliminating depression, resolving disruptive sleep patterns and coming off all medications. She had been a doctor for years. She had never been this well.
“Making the choice to study at Health Mastery Institute is what finally gave me what I was searching for. The science, the education, the practices and the protocols to make the changes to my life that actually heal and support the body for optimal health. A blueprint for preventive optimal health.”
AFTER
A better physician and a stronger, freer person.
Dr. Roxanne is still a physician, but she practices with a wider framework than before. She integrates the plant-based science, spiritual coaching and mental health work she developed through her studies into her work with clients.
She describes herself as strong, filled with energy, grounded in her faith and clear in her boundaries. She reports no longer taking medication, controlling hypertension through lifestyle and diet, and no longer suffering from depression or disruptive sleep.
“I am a stronger, healthier, freer person in all ways, because of the work I have done with Liana Shanti’s programs. I am a better medical practitioner with so many practical, science-based protocols and personal experience to share.”
